Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. (March 21, 1869 – July 22, 1932) was an American Broadway impresario who achieved fame by perfecting the United States revue. He is best known for his series of theatrical spectaculars, the Ziegfeld Follies, based on the Folies Bergères of Paris.
His first foray into the world of entertainment was at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, where he managed the famous strongman, Eugen Sandow.
His stage spectaculars, beginning with his Follies of 1907, were produced annually until 1931. These extravaganzas featured a bevy of beauties chosen personally by "Flo" Ziegfeld, prominent composers such as Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, and Jerome Kern, and elaborate costumes and sets.
